As part of out unique online training Towards Vivencia, once a month we invite dance-artists we admire to talk about Peak Performance Presence, how to sustain a long and successful career in the arts and what are the books and other resources our guests feed from.In this fourth episode we had a conversation with Paolo Mangiola, artistic director of Zfin Malta, the national company of Malta. In this episode we talked about: 

  • Why dancers are the main asset of any dance company
  • Interdependency 
  • What is the role of a national dance company and why they should exist
  • A dystopian future where Earth’s rotation slows down and gravity increases exponentially 
  • What does Paolo Mangiola look for on a dancer during an audition process
  • Presence, humanity and honesty in performance
  • What Zfin Malta next season looks like
  • What happens to artists when the work you want to make has been made by Boris Charmatz already
  • How all the negative answers we receive throughout a lifetime equipped us to go further and further
  • How do you know whether a piece has changed your life…
